Are These Surgeonfish available in the Hobby?

[The Reef Expert]

There are lots of tangs, but it seems that only a few are available for the hobby. Are some of these other ones available? Like the Acanthurus gahhm, or some of those unheard of nasos?

That is quite an extensive list. I would also comment that what we have in the US might be much different than what you would see in Bora Bora.

 

[The Reef Expert]

I am able to get fish from the US all the time. I just get a good exporter. No biggy

 

[The Reef Expert]

Does the divers den ever get from time to time a large streamer male sohal tang? That would make a great wishlist item for my wanted 150 gallon reef. Like this one:

It would probably bully the whole tank though...

 

[Sardaukar]

I can't tell if this is a joke post or not, but a 15" Sohal tang is not going to be happy in a 150g tank.

 

[The Reef Expert]

Sorry bout that

Sorry bout that

The tank choice was just to ask that question. I'm not interested in the whole tang police of it I just wanted to know If large male streamer sohals have ever been or will be available on the divers den.:wavehand:
